How do you make eye holes or what do you use to cut them out?

[emccorm1]

The eyes are simply cut out using an Exacto knife

[emccorm1]

Talc is readily available at all drug stores

wow i really wanna make a michael myers mask but im only 14 :( and a need a cheap one but good quality, i know that these are hand made and not mass produced, but my dad says paying hundreds of dollars for a mask is ridiculous

[emccorm1]

Actually the cost of raw materials to make the mask is about $50.00-$70.00. You'll need clay though to create you sculpture. 14 is just the right age to learn.

Ehh, my comment disappeared :| But yeah, I'm about to paint a few pretty simple latexmasks (just using my fingers, nothing fancy) but I don't know how to.. I mean, the paint and the white gooey latex has to be mixed, but how? I had some old latex but it had dried up, so I couldn't do it now. And what kind of paint will do? I have some basic "humbrol enamel" paints. Or will it hurt the latex? Please, I've been trying to figure out how to paint em for AGES.

talcum powder is just baby powder or whatever you wanna call it.

[heavyflower]
